The Physiotherapist Assistant Diploma program (Mississauga & Hamilton) has been designed to provide students with a strong foundation to work under the supervision of a Physiotherapist. Current trends in health care restructuring have resulted in shorter hospital stays and more outpatient rehabilitation. Some tasks formerly performed by Physiotherapists are now being delegated to Assistants in an effort to further reduce costs. The demand for Physiotherapist Assistants is expected to increase over the next few years.
The program provides a well-rounded combination of theory instruction and practical training with which the student can continually develop and apply their knowledge to skilled tasks and proper assessment procedures. |
